HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I missed the shutterfly free holiday card give-a-way so once again we are wishing you all a great holiday season via Internet. Our household has had a little bit of a rough month. Mason battled pneumonia, the girls both had a typical cold which they also shared with me. Ike has been just plain under the weather. His ears are fine, his lungs are clear, but he is battling some virus. Hope all is well in a few days!

Since the horrible sickness I got behind on blogging. So here is an update...

December 18th

Louie our lovable dog has found a new home. When I did research on what kind of dog would be good for our home, it said Pugs were good with kids. Louie has been good with the girls but he has a problem with nipping. Since Ike has been born it has gotten worse, and over the last month it has gone too far. He left marks on Allie and growled at Dani. So instead of waiting for something really bad to happen we found him a new home. The lady seemed SO nice. She let him lick her face and snuggle up to her. She even has outfits pick out...poor Louie! Anyway the girls had a difficult time so we took picture and framed them. It is currently hanging in their room. In the words of the girls..."This way he will always be in our hearts." AND I want you all to know that I am not totally heartless...I teared up when we said goodbye and I maybe miss him a little. He was good at cleaning up spills! :)

Dani completed another great session of gymnastics. She is advancing into the next class and is so excited to finally be with her preschool friend Lauren.

December 4th

About an hour drive the zoo has a Winter Wonderland display. 700,000 lights to sparkle up the park. The best part...it's free. Of course in the spirit of Christmas they ask for some sort of donation. We went on a warmer night but unfortunately weren't able to go on the horse drawn buggy ride.
